Both Danny and Sophie are already parents and the pair met when Sophie interviewed the fast food star for her own YouTube channel where she is a vegan fitness guru. Danny and Sophie have four children from previous relationships who are are Summer, 13, and George, 11, while Sophie has Jasmine, 11, and Arianna, eight.
Danny has been caring for the four himself after tragedy struck two years ago when his fiancée Carrie Taylor died aged 40 after a heart attack. He spoke of his worry that he'd never find love again and of spiralling weight gain due to comfort eating, his full schedule with four kids to take care of and work on top.
He and Sophie said all the kids were excited to have a new sibling and said they plan to marry in the summer. Sophie, from Wakefield, belly danced her way to the semi-finals of Britain’s Got Talent in 2007 and says Danny is the love of her life.
The couple now video blog on TikTok as @MrandMrsYorkshire about their 'perfectly imperfect family'. The pair have shared their surprise at the new arrival which was unexpected due to Danny's vasectomy and Sophie's health issues.
Danny had 'the snip' in 2013 but said he must be one of the one in 2,000 where it doesn't work and both have said they are delighted by the unexpected. Danny joked that as Sophie grows she's getting more of an idea of what it is like to be him.
Joking aside, the professional fast food critic has cut his weight to 19st 5lb since meeting Sophie, concentrating on healthy eating in his spare time and exercising more. He told the Mirror he was enjoying life to the fullest again and couldn't wait for his latest, and most important, delivery.
